    Musical Visual Packet ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ A tournament by the Purdue University Quiz Bowl Team Questions by Drew Benner, John Petrovich, Patrick Quion, Andrew Schingel, Lalit Maharjan, Pranav Veluri, and Ben Dahl ROUND 7: Finale 1) In a musical production choreographed by John Heginbotham, this scene introduces an electric guitar to the acoustic score and during it, boots fall from the rafters one by one. Gabrielle Hamilton stars in this scene in a revival that has it performed by a single dancer, barefoot, in a modern style. The film version of this scene has a tornado roaring in the background, while Susan Stroman’s choreography for this scene has the main cast perform it themselves, instead of having trained dancers play (*) avatars of them. This sequence ​ occurs after a character consumes the “Elixir of Egypt,” and it begins with a cheerful wedding that changes tone when the bride realizes two men have suddenly switched characters. Originally choreographed by Agnes de Mille, this revolutionary scene is regarded as the first dance sequence in a musical to incorporate plot. For ten points, name this fantasy sequence from a Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, where Laurey struggles choosing between Jud and Curly after taking a sleeping drug.

  • …But You Could've Held My Hand by Jucoby Johnson
    …but you could’ve held my hand By JuCoby Johnson Characters Eddie (He/Him/His)- Black Charlotte/Charlie (They/Them/Theirs)- Black Marigold (She/Her/Hers)- Black Max (He/Him/His)- Black Setting The past and present. Author’s Notes Off top: EveryBody in this play is Black. I strongly encourage anyone casting this play to avoid getting bogged down in a narrow understanding of blackness or limit themselves to their own opinions on what it means to be black. Consider the full spectrum of Blackness and what you will find is the full spectrum of humanity. One character in this play is gender non-binary. I encourage people to fill the role with an actor who is also gender non-binary. I also urge people not to stop there. Consider trans performers for any and all roles. This play can only benefit from their presence in the room. The ages of the actors don’t need to match the ages of the characters. I would actually encourage an ensemble of all different ages. As we play with time in this play, this will open us up to possibilities that extend beyond realism or any other genre. Speaking of genre, my only request is that the play be theatrical. Whatever that means to you. This is not realism, or naturalism, or expressionism, or any other ism. Forget all about genre. All that to say: Be Bold. Have fun. Lead with love. 2 “Love is or it ain’t. Thin love ain’t love at all.” -Toni Morrison 3 A Beginning Darkness.

  • MTO 2.2: Burnham, Theorists
    Volume 2, Number 2, March 1996 Copyright © 1996 Society for Music Theory Scott Burnham KEYWORDS: theorists, musicologists, musical training, prototypes, Chopsticks [1] Everyone in this room has probably either heard or performed the piano classic popularly known as “Chopsticks.” Here’s a question for you then: Why is Chopsticks so fun to play? And here are a few answers. Let’s start with one that does not involve a close reading of “the music itself ”. For instance, let’s start with the title and its implications. Guess what: the fun we have with Chopsticks is not as innocent as we might have imagined. The title perhaps implies that the piece could be played with chopsticks, that its blankly primitive repetitions are to be associated with what a Westerner might ethnocentrically think of as blankly primitive tableware. And thus a seemingly innocuous bit of piano play could be interpreted as invoking anti-Asian prejudices so thoroughly ingrained in our American culture that they are imbibed in the very first organized polyphony we generally learn to produce on the piano. An investigation of Chopsticks in this vein would reveal sinister forces pulling at our fingers, making sure we in fact enjoy the work of stereotype and subjugation, such that it becomes a form of play. We could then broaden the context of this interpretation by playing figuratively on the fundamental black-and-whiteness of the keyboard, invoking the degraded histories of ivory and slavery, latent horrors waiting to be uncovered in the family piano. Remember, for instance, that Chopsticks stays on the white keys and celebrates (enforces?) Western diatonic tonality, while that old pentatonic ditty—rival to Chopsticks among the piano’s young proteges—is primitively played with a rolling fist on the black keys.

  • Today's Leading Exponent of (The) Legacy
    ... today’s leading exponent of (the) legacy. Backstage 2007 THE DANCER OF THE FUTURE will be one whose body and soul have grown so harmoniously together that the natural language of that soul will have become the movement of the human body. The dancer will not belong to a nation but to all humanity. She will not dance in the form of nymph, nor fairy, nor coquette, but in the form of woman in her greatest and purest expression. From all parts of her body shall shine radiant intelligence, bringing to the world the message of the aspirations of thousands of women. She shall dance the freedom of women – with the highest intelligence in the freest body.

    ANTHROPOLOGICAL PAPERS OF THE American fluseum of Natural History. Vol. XI, Part X. DANCES AND SOCIETIES OF THE PLAINS SHOSHONE. BY ROBERT H. LOWIE. NEW YORK: Published by Order of the Trustees. 1915. DANCES AND SOCIETIES OF THE PLAINS SHOSHONE. By ROBERT H. LOWIE. 803 PREFACE. From the beginning it had been intended to include those Shoshonean tribes who had been more or less affected by the culture of the Plains in the present survey of the military societies of that area. Accordingly, I devoted a portion of the summer of 1912 to seeking relevant data from the Comanche, Southern Ute, and Wind River Shoshone. The Comanche were visited in the vicinity of Lawton, Oklahoma; the Southern Ute at Navaho Springs and Ignacio, Colorado; the Shoshone at Wind River, Wyoming. In 1914, a brief visit was paid to the Ute of Whiterocks, Uintah Reservation, Utah. While the information is meager for all of the tribes concerned, I feel reasonably sure that this is largely due to the relative simplicity of Sho- shonean culture and that the essential features of the Ute and Wind River dances are correctly represented. I am much less confident as regards the Comanche, who proved poor, and in part very unwilling, informants. For the pictures of the Bear dance, as well as for innumerable courtesies during my brief stay at Navaho Springs, I feel under deep obligations to Mr. and Mrs. Charles D. Wagner. March, 1915. 805 CONTENTS. PAGE. PREFACE . 805 COMANCHE DANCES . 809 DANCES AND SOCIETIES OF THE WIND RIVER SHOSHONE . 813 THE YELLOW NOSES AND THE LOGS .

Both these volumes contained the Irish originals, as well as the translations from them, and both volumes were extremely valuable for their preservation of those originals, but suffered from the over ornate, and, indeed, often extremely artificial English verse into which they were translated.

  • Ucwdc World Report 2007
    UCWDC WORLD REPORT 2007 Well, we certainly had a great weekend at the beautiful Opryland Hotel that is bigger than the rest of Tennessee. All they need is a landing strip and people movers and we would probably just stay there forever. LOL. It is a beautiful setting for a dance event as you will see from some of the pictures -- but enough about real estate and let's get to the important stuff. There were a lot of enthusiastic dancers who showed up for this first-ever dedicated social line dance event taking place at Worlds (at least in this format). I think almost every line dance event director was there or invited to be there and so many of our most talented choreographers and teachers that you would have to really work hard to have a bad time. I loved the line dance lobby concept because it had all the necessary things to both dance and socialize in a comfortable and inviting area and people would dance in the lobby and then go upstairs to the lesson rooms for lessons and then come back and dance and socialize the entire day. There were intermittent 30-minute teaches in the lobby area but spaced far enough apart that it never really seemed to slow down the momentum of open dancing and it gave those of us who just love to go to events and do lots of open dancing a chance to either take the lesson, watch the lesson, take a break or grab a bite to eat in the food court or one of the many restaurants.
